A member asked:

Could hypothyroid cause increase or decrease amount of calcium in blood?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usually: Unless there is something else going on, most people with hypothyroidism will have normal calcium levels. Hypoparathyroidism (low function of the parathyroid glands) will cause low calcium levels in the blood.

Dr Harte and 3 doctors agreed
